Nikki Sixx is working on a “trilogy” project for a 2019 release. The MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist, who said last year that he was “unofficially retired” from touring, discussed his plans in an Instagram post. “Officially start working on a new album tomorrow as part of my trilogy project for 2019,” he wrote. “Very excited to be working with a handful of different producers and artists to pull the vision that’s been haunting me together.”
